KEEP OUT or DEBT.

In every new country there is a tend
ency and seemingly n necessity for
running into debt. Credit, while often
IA great favor. not infrequently proves
an injury. One is liable to purchase
more ii buying on credit then when
paying the cash. and often gets things
he could do without on n pinch be-
cause he is given time. 1t is "A struggle
in any country to get started, but in
the west too much reliance is placed on
the future and its possibilities.
Some men are in too great hurry
to become rich and over-reach them
selves. "Slow but sure" is n wise
una kim. To he owned by someone else
in part is very discouraging. mort
gage should be regarded as the next
thing TO death warrant, and should
not be given unless you can see your
way out rs clearly as you can discern
q landmark on the prairie. Every
outdoor enterprise in Montana is
hazardous to IA more or less degree.
The ranchman's crop of oats. worth
many hundred dollars, may be de-
stroyed in an hour by u hailstorm,
while the drouth should never be for
gotten; the woogrower wealth, which
has required years to accumulate may
vanish in month of severe weather;
the cattle owner is liable to gather
nothing but hides after hard winter.
II is far better to own five hundred
sheep without incumbrance than five
thousand with n chattel mortage hang
ing over you for half taeir value.
Prosperity will come without being
forced Crest caution and prudence
must be exerted in all our industries
in the future Ranchmen who have
taken up land must not underestimate
the value of their possessions. The
time has come when good government
land is not plentiful, particularly in
Montana. keen-sighted capitalists
know what will he the future value OF
| land in u region SO favored as this and
will be eager to take It as security on
loans, 1t will slip from your grassy
! like an eel ii you are not very cautious
The prosperity of this county lies in
she ownership OF the land by actual
set tiers not by non-residents and spectl
lators.

That poets are born with the divine
gift of vcrse-Iaaking has long been IA
question of controversy. Some claim
that the spark OF genius and the star
of destiny hover over the infant
in his swaddling cloths and turks in
therubber-tipped nursing bottle; that
in childish prattle rhythmic words drop
unconsciously from the poetic prodi-
gies only "to waste their sweetness ON
the desert air" OF all this we were
skeptical until last week, when we
received a book of poems from the
inspired pen of Matt w. Al,iersou of
Butte, entitled, "liow She Felt in her
First Corset, and other Poems
We no longer doubt the inspiration
hypothesis. The man who can tell
How a Girl Feels i'm Her First Corset. y
is no SLOUGH. Some may he in doubt
whether this refers to the feelor or the
feelee. but after reading the poem fore
and aft we are of the impression that
it refers to ''rhe party of the first
part" The corset may have been
built Tor smaller girl, it may have
been put on up side down or perhaps
il was y meal sack and the Bard of
Butte was unable, in his poetic fancy.

The prospects for good crops this
season should not blind our ranch
men to the importance OF irrigation.
\ crop every two years will not place
them on the road to wealth. The
clouds may fail to give down their
moisture, but those who have access
to living streams can always count
upon having n crop by the means OF
irrigation. With the boom Of pros
perity that is now approaching Mon
tana our ranchmcn should not be
bringing up the trail. In ranching as
IN other pursuits, success depends
largely upon the industry and far
sightelness OF the individual

We publish elsewhere the law relat-
ing to tree planting ami arborculture
passed by the last legislature. 1t will
be seen that great inducements are
offered settlers by exemptions from
taxation if the provisions of the law
are complied with. At present it may
seem like n waste Of time to engage in
tree planting to save taxes. The grow
ing of grain and the necessities of life
occupy the attention OF our ranch
men pretty generally. But this region
seems To be as favorable, ii not more
so, than any in Montana, for deriving
benefits from the law. We believe that
within "A few years those OF our ranch
men who are favorably located will
give the matter some attention. Shade
trees should be grown around homes
without arbor-day proclamations.

ers ~ Montana nave been ''iiceccG
to pay tribute TO san Francisco nler-
chants One firm in letter To the
commission says: last year the mer-
chants OF san Francisco had rate of
so cents per 100 pounds on wool,
while dealers and growers located sew
eral hundred miles further east had to
pay from SO To 81 30 per 100 pounds
if that wool was shipped direct to the
East There is wool now in Phila-
delphla grown in Montana which the
railroad forced to be sent thence via
SAN Francisco, making haul OF 4 900
miles, while ii shipped direct it would
have Travelled only 1000 miles. The
object OF the discrimination was To
give san Francisco merchants an op-
portunity to exact toll beforeii reached
its natural termination. Another
firm writes that "the rates from san
Francisco to the East have been from
80 to 82 cents per 100 pounds, while
from many nearer points it has been
from So to $3.50"
II was lust such discrimination and
extortion that brought about the
enactment of the Interstate commerce
law. The producers, local shippers
and way points have been bled To
build up trade centers, the volume oi
business and competitor being the only
pretext offered for robbing those least
able to stand the tax.
The law in its present shape may
not remedy the grievance, but it is a
move in the right direction and If not
etiica,ious time will so determine and
the weak points brought to the sur
face. 1t is certainly an injustice for
the railroads to make Il reduction on
the "short haul and then greatly
increase their rates on the ''longhaul 3"

Everything is still IN chaotic state,
